Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Organization
NGA HoldCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the Company or NGA), was formed on January 8, 2007 at the direction of Newport Global Opportunities Fund LP (NGOF), a Delaware limited partnership, for the purpose of holding equity, either directly or indirectly through affiliates, in one or more entities related to the gaming industry. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company and its two wholly owned subsidiaries; NGA Blocker, LLC (Blocker) and NGA Acquisition Co. LLC (Acquisition Co).
As more fully explained in the following paragraphs, Blocker is a holding company that has elected to be taxed as a corporation. Blocker is taxed on its share of the income from Acquisition Co, unlike NGA where its income flows through to its investors and ultimately to their respective investors. Acquisition Co currently owns approximately a 17.04% interest in Eldorado HoldCo LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (Eldorado) and a 40% interest in Mesquite Gaming LLC (Mesquite), also a Nevada limited liability company. Eldorado owns entities that own and operate the Eldorado Hotel Casino Reno and the Eldorado Resort Casino Shreveport. Eldorado also owns approximately 50% of a joint venture that owns and operates the Silver Legacy Resort Casino Reno (which is seamlessly connected to the Eldorado Hotel Casino Reno) and approximately 21% of a joint venture that owns and operates Tamarack Crossings Casino & Restaurant, a small casino also in Reno. Mesquite is engaged in the casino resort industry in Mesquite, Nevada through its wholly owned subsidiaries that own and operate the CasaBlanca Resort & Casino, the Virgin River Hotel & Casino, two golf courses, a bowling center, and a gun club. Mesquite also owns the Oasis Resort & Casino, which is currently closed.
The Companys one issued and outstanding Class A Unit, representing all of its voting equity, is held by NGA VoteCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (VoteCo). All of the Companys issued and outstanding Class B Units, representing all of its non-voting equity, are held by NGA No VoteCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (InvestCo). VoteCo is owned by Timothy T. Janszen and Ryan L. Langdon, each of whom owns a 42.85% interest, and Roger A. May, who owns a 14.3% interest. Messrs. Janszen, Langdon and May collectively are referred to as the VoteCo Equityholders. InvestCo is owned by NGOF and Newport Global Credit Fund LP (NGCF) (collectively Newport), Delaware limited partnerships formed primarily for the purpose of seeking long-term capital appreciation and current income by acquiring, holding and disposing of investments made in distressed debt securities and equities. Newport holds all of InvestCos issued and outstanding voting securities. At present, the Company has no plans to issue any additional Class A Units or Class B Units.
The VoteCo Equityholders, through VoteCo, control all matters of the Company that are subject to the vote of members, including the appointment and removal of managers. Messrs. Janszen, Langdon and May are the Companys managers and Mr. Janszen is also the Companys operating manager. The Class B Units issued to InvestCo allow it and its investors to invest in the Company without having any voting power or power to control the operations or affairs of the Company, except as otherwise required by law. If InvestCo and its investors had any of the power to control the operations or affairs of the Company afforded to the holders of the Class A Units, they and their respective constituent equityholders would generally be required, in connection with the Companys investments in Eldorado and Mesquite, to be licensed or found suitable under the gaming laws and regulations of the States of Nevada and Louisiana as well as various local regulations in those states.
VoteCo, InvestCo, the Company and each of the Companys wholly owned subsidiaries are managed by Timothy T. Janszen, the operating manager of each entity. NGA Blocker, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (Blocker), is a holding company that has elected to be taxed as a corporation. Because Blocker is a separately taxed, non-flow through entity, Blocker is taxed on its share of the income relating to the Companys investment in Eldorado rather than the Companys investors.
The Company has had no revenue generating business since inception. Its current business plan consists primarily of its holding of a 17.0359% and 40% equity interest in Eldorado and Mesquite, respectively.
Eldorado Acquisition
On December 14, 2007, the date of the closing of its acquisition of a 17.0359% interest in Eldorado Resorts, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (Resorts), the Company transferred in part to Resorts and in part to Donald L. Carano (Carano), respectively, free and clear of any liens, ownership of a total of $38,045,363 original principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds due 2012, co-issued by Eldorado Casino Shreveport Joint Venture (the Louisiana Partnership) and Shreveport Capital Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Louisiana Partnership (the New Shreveport Notes), together with 11,000 preferred shares issued by Shreveport Gaming Holdings, Inc. (SGH), then a partner of the Louisiana Partnership that is not affiliated with Resorts or the Company, in exchange for a 17.0359% interest in Resorts. In May 2007, Newport contributed 100% of the New Shreveport Notes held by Newport since August 2006 and 11% of the preferred shares held since August 2006 (collectively, the Eldorado Shreveport Investments) to the Company. The Eldorado Shreveport Investments were transferred to the Company at the fair value as of the transfer date.
Effective April 1, 2009, Resorts became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eldorado HoldCo LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (Eldorado), when all of the members of Resorts, including Acquisition Co., the subsidiary of the Company through which the Company held its interest in Resorts, exchanged their interests in Resorts for identical interests in Eldorado. Eldorado, which was formed to be a holding company for Resorts, conducts no operations of its own and, other than its ownership of Resorts, has no assets or liabilities.

Table of Contents
The Companys acquisition in December 2007 of a 17.0359% interest in Resorts was pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Purchase Agreement, dated July 20, 2007 (the Purchase Agreement). The parties to the Purchase Agreement were Resorts, AcquisitionCo, which is the subsidiary through which the Company acquired its interest in Resorts, and Carano, now the presiding member of Eldorados Board of Managers and the Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado who then held the same positions with Resorts, from whom a portion of the 17.0359% interest was acquired. The closing of this transaction occurred on December 14, 2007 (Closing) after necessary gaming licenses and approvals were obtained from Nevada and Louisiana, respectively. The Company owns indirectly through its subsidiaries 17.0359% of Eldorado, and Carano or members of his family own directly or indirectly approximately 51% of Eldorado. Carano continues in the roles in the management of Eldorado and Resorts in which he served Resorts prior to Closing.
The 17.0359% equity interest in Resorts acquired by the Company included a new 14.47% membership interest acquired directly from Resorts (the 14.47% Interest) and a previously outstanding 3% membership interest (that, as a result of the issuance of the 14.47% Interest, was reduced to a 2.5659% interest) acquired from Carano (the 2.5659% Interest). In consideration for its equity interest, AcquisitionCo:
| transferred to Resorts, free and clear of any liens, ownership of $31,133,250 original principal amount of the New Shreveport Notes together with the right to all interest paid with respect thereto after the closing date, and |
| transferred to Carano, free and clear of any liens, $6,912,113 original principal amount of New Shreveport Notes together with the right to all interest paid with respect thereto after the closing date and a preferred stock equity interest representing a capital contribution amount of $286,889 issued by SGH. |
At closing, Resorts and Carano paid Newport in cash the respective amounts owed to AcquisitionCo for interest on the respective amounts of New Shreveport Notes received at closing that was accrued and unpaid through the date of closing.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Resorts was entitled, prior to or immediately following the Companys acquisition of its interest in Resorts, to make a distribution to the members of Resorts other than AcquisitionCo of up to $10 million. On July 25, 2007 Resorts made the $10 million distribution to its members which was funded through borrowings under Resorts credit facility as permitted by the Purchase Agreement.
Eldorado, through Resorts, owns and operates the Eldorado Hotel and Casino (the Eldorado-Reno) located in Reno, Nevada. Through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Resorts owns all of the partnership interests of the Louisiana Partnership, and operates, pursuant to a management agreement, the Eldorado Shreveport Hotel and Casino in Shreveport, Louisiana (the Eldorado-Shreveport), which is owned by the Louisiana Partnership. Eldorado Limited Liability Company (ELLC), a Nevada limited liability company 96.1858% owned by Resorts, is a 50% joint venture partner in a general partnership that owns and operates the Silver Legacy Resort Casino (Silver Legacy), a hotel and casino property adjacent to Eldorado-Reno. Resorts also own a 21.25% interest in Tamarack Junction, a small casino in South Reno.
Mesquite Acquisition
As a result of a second investment, on August 1, 2011, the date of the closing of its acquisition of a 40% interest in Mesquite Gaming, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (Mesquite), the Company transferred to Mesquite $8,222,222 in cash in exchange for a 40% interest in Mesquite. This $8,222,222 in cash was contributed by Newport to the Company as a capital contribution in July 2011.
The Companys acquisition in August 2011 of its 40% interest in Mesquite was completed upon the transfer to Mesquite Gaming of all of the assets of Black Gaming, LLC (Black Gaming), including Black Gamings direct and indirect ownership interests in its subsidiaries. The assets acquired by Mesquite Gaming included the CasaBlanca Hotel & Casino and the Virgin River Hotel & Casino, each in Mesquite, Nevada, two golf courses, a bowling center, a gun club, restaurants, and banquet and conference facilities. The transfer of the Black Gaming assets to Mesquite Gaming and the acquisition by AcquisitionCo of the 40% Interest were pursuant to a joint plan of reorganization (the Plan) filed by Black Gaming and its subsidiaries with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (the Court) on March 1, 2010, and approved by the Court on June 28, 2010.
Mesquite is engaged in the hotel casino industry in Mesquite, Nevada through its wholly owned subsidiaries C & HRV, LLC (doing business as Virgin River Hotel/Casino/Bingo) and VRCC, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries 5.47 RBI, LLC and RBG, LLC (doing business as CasaBlanca Resort/Golf/Spa) and its wholly owned subsidiary CasaBlanca Resorts, LLC (doing business as Oasis Resort and Casino) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Oasis Interval Ownership, LLC, Oasis Interval Management, LLC and Oasis Recreational Properties, Inc.
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Blocker and AcquisitionCo. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, all of which are normal and recurring, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

Table of Contents
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2011.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.
Investment in Unconsolidated Investees
The Company accounts for its 17.0359% and 40% investments in Eldorado and Mesquite, respectively, using the equity method of accounting. The Company considers on a quarterly basis whether the fair value of each of its equity method investments has declined below its carrying value whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded value may not be recoverable. If the Company considers any such decline to be other than temporary, then a write-down would be recorded to estimated fair value. Evidence of a loss in value that may be other than temporary might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the Companys investment or the inability of Eldorado or Mesquite to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment. In evaluating whether the loss in value is other than temporary, the Company considers: 1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; 2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of Eldorado and Mesquite, including any specific events which may influence the operations of either company; 3) the Companys intent and ability to retain its investments in Eldorado and Mesquite for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value; 4) the condition and trend of the economic cycle; 5) Eldorados and Mesquites financial performance and projections; 6) trends in the general market; and 7) Eldorados and Mesquites capital strength and liquidity.
In determining whether the fair value of the investments in Eldorado and Mesquite are less than their carrying value, the Company uses a discounted cash flow model as its principal technique. The Companys model incorporates an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that a market participant would use in evaluating the investment in a purchase transaction. The estimated weighted-average cost of capital is based on the risk free interest rate and other factors such as current risk premiums. The Company uses the discounted cash flow model as it provides greater detail and opportunity to reflect specific facts, circumstances and economic conditions for its investment. Comparable business transactions are often limited in number, contain dated information, and require significant adjustments due to differences in the size of the business, markets served and other factors. The Company therefore believes that in its circumstance, this makes comparisons to business transactions less reliable than the discounted cash flows model. However, the Company does consider comparable business transactions as a reasonableness test of our principal technique.
In performing this impairment test, the Company takes steps to ensure that appropriate and reasonable cash flow projections and assumptions are used. The Company also performs sensitivity analyses on the key assumptions used, including the weighted-average cost of capital.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying value due to the immediate or short term maturity of these financial instruments.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the FASB provided additional guidance related to business combinations to require each public entity that presents comparative financial statements to disclose the revenue and earnings of the combined entity as if the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. In addition, this amendment expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures related to such a business combination to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This guidance should be applied prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2011, for calendar-year reporting entities. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2011 with no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
3. Membership Units and Related Rights
The Companys Operating Agreement has created two classes of membership units, the Class A Units and the Class B Units. VoteCo holds one Class A Unit of the Company, representing the Companys only outstanding voting equity. InvestCo holds 9,999 Class B Units of the Company representing all of the Companys outstanding non-voting equity. With the exception of voting rights, the rights of a Class A Unit and a Class B Unit are identical.
Each of the Companys membership units, both Class A and Class B, represent a percentage interest in the Company equal to the quotient determined by dividing one by the aggregate number of units, both Class A and Class B, held by all members as of the date of the determination. The economic rights, risks and rewards are all shared by the members ratably according to their respective percentage interests.
Distributions
Subject to all applicable gaming approvals, distributions by the Company will be made to its members at such times and in such amounts as approved by the Operating Manager in good faith in accordance with the provisions of the Companys operating agreement and, if and when made, will be distributed by the Company to its members in proportion to their respective percentage

interests in the Company. There is no formal agreement between Newport and the Company regarding the settlement of the due to/from related parties; however, such amounts are expected to be settled upon sale of the Companys investments in Eldorado and Mesquite.
Restrictions on Transfer
Unless approved in advance by the Operating Manager and by applicable gaming authorities, no member of the Company may transfer all or any portion of its membership units. In addition, transfers or issuances of any membership units to any person who is required to be, and has not been, found suitable to be licensed or to hold such membership units by applicable gaming authorities, are prohibited and will be null and void and of no force or effect as of the inception of the attempted transfer or issuance.
As of the date the Company receives notice from any applicable gaming authority that a member of the Company or a transferee of any membership interest in the Company (1) is required to be licensed but is unsuitable to be licensed or (2) is unsuitable to hold a membership interest in the Company, then the unsuitable member or transferee may not, for so long as the unsuitability determination remains in force and effect,
| receive any share of any cash distribution, or any other property or payments upon the dissolution of the Company, |
| exercise directly or through a trustee or nominee any voting rights conferred by any membership interest in the Company, |
| participate in the management of the business or affairs of the Company, or |
| receive any remuneration in any form from the Company for services rendered or otherwise. |
Member and Company Manager Compensation
No member or manager of the Company is entitled to receive any compensation from the Company for any services rendered to or on behalf of the Company, or otherwise, in his, her or its capacity as a member or manager of the Company. A manager of the Company is entitled to reimbursement from the first available funds of the Company for direct out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the manager on behalf of the Company that directly related to the business and affairs of the Company.
4. Investment in Eldorado
The Companys 17.0359% investment in Eldorado (which was acquired on April 1, 2009 in exchange for a 17.0359% interest originally acquired in Resorts, as described in Note 1) is accounted for under the equity method. The investment, which is reported as Equity income (loss) on Eldorado on the consolidated statements of operations, was originally recorded at fair value and is adjusted by the Companys share of earnings, losses, distributions, and adjustments related to the amortization of definite-lived intangibles of the investment. The Companys allocated income and loss related to Eldorado for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are included as a component of net loss on the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was no indication that impairment may have existed in relation to the investment in Eldorado.

InvestCo owns 99.99% of the Company which is a non-voting interest. The other .01% of the Company, which is the only voting interest of the Company, is owned by VoteCo. InvestCo is wholly owned by Newport. In May 2007, Newport contributed to the Company 100% of the New Shreveport Notes held by Newport since August 2006 and 11% of the SGH preferred shares held since August 2006 that comprised the Companys Eldorado Shreveport investments (the Eldorado Shreveport Investments). The Eldorado Shreveport Investments were transferred to the Company at fair market value at the date of transfer. VoteCo is responsible for the operations of the Company and is wholly owned by the managers of Newport. In July 2011, NGOF and NGCF contributed $7,222,222 and $1,000,000, respectively, to the Company for the purpose of purchasing a 40% equity interest in Mesquite. See note 7 below for further discussion regarding these contributions.
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company was owed $5,179,772 from Newport, representing $5,118,172 of interest earned and received on the Eldorado Shreveport Investments and $61,600 of preferred dividend earned and received on the 11,000 SGH preferred shares.

7. Acquisition
On August 1, 2011, the acquisition by NGA Holdco, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the Company), through its wholly owned subsidiary, NGA AcquisitionCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, (AcquisitionCo), of a 40% equity interest (the 40% Interest) in Mesquite Gaming, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (Mesquite Gaming), was completed upon the transfer to Mesquite Gaming of all of the assets of Black Gaming, LLC (Black Gaming), including its direct and indirect ownership interests in its subsidiaries, for $8,222,222 in cash. The assets acquired by Mesquite Gaming include the CasaBlanca Hotel & Casino and the Virgin River Hotel & Casino, each in Mesquite, Nevada, two golf courses, a bowling center, a gun club, restaurants, and banquet and conference facilities. The transfer of the Black Gaming assets to Mesquite Gaming and the acquisition by AcquisitionCo of the 40% Interest were pursuant to a joint plan of reorganization (the Plan) filed by Black Gaming and its subsidiaries with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (the Court) on March 1, 2010, and approved by the Court on June 28, 2010.
The Purchase price paid for the 40% Interest was provided by Newport Global Opportunities Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership (Newport), and Newport Global Credit Fund (Master) LP, a Delaware limited partnership (Master), in the respective amounts of $7,222,222 and $1,000,000. Prior to the acquisition by AcquisitionCo of the 40% Interest, Newport owned all of the equity interests in NGA No VoteCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (InvestCo). In consideration for Masters contribution of its portion of the funds used to purchase the 40% Interest, Master became a second member of InvestCo, which owns all of the Companys outstanding Class B Units, representing all of its non-voting equity. As a result of the acquisition of the 40% Interest, the Companys financial statements will, from August 1, 2011 (the date of consummation of the acquisition), reflect the Companys allocable share of the net income (loss) of Mesquite Gaming, which was formed for the purpose of acquiring the assets of Black Gaming pursuant to the Plan.
Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
Overview
The following managements discussion and analysis relates to the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
The Company and its subsidiaries were formed as legal entities in January 2007 for the primary purpose of holding equity, directly or indirectly through affiliates, in one or more entities related to the gaming industry, and to exercise the rights, and manage the distributions received, in connection with those holdings. On December 14, 2007, our affiliate, Acquisition Co, acquired a 17.0359% interest in Eldorado Resorts, LLC (Resorts). Effective April 1, 2009, Resorts became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eldorado HoldCo LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (Eldorado), when all of the members of Resorts, including Acquisition Co., the subsidiary of the Company through which the Company held its interest in Resorts, exchanged their interests in Resorts for identical interests in Eldorado. Eldorado, which was formed to be a holding company for Resorts, conducts no operations of its own and, other than its ownership of Resorts, has no assets or liabilities (see note 1 of the notes to the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report). In addition, our affiliate, AcquisitionCo, acquired a 40% interest in Mesquite Gaming, LLC (Mesquite) on August 1, 2011.
11
Table of Contents
The Company has had no revenue generating business since inception and its current business plan consists primarily of its holding of a 17.0359% and 40% equity interest in Eldorado and Mesquite, respectively. Its only operations have consisted of interest income earned on the Eldorado Shreveport Investments and the pro-rata net income (loss) allocation (as the case may be) related to the Resorts/Eldorado and Mesquite investments since December 2007 and August 2011, respectively, and nominal administrative expenses.
From the date the investments conveyed by the Company for its 17.0359% interest in a Resorts were first acquired by Newport Global in August 2006 until the Companys acquisition of the 17.0359% interest in Resorts, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented reflect the Companys activity with respect to such investments, which consisted principally of bonds and preferred shares associated with Eldorado Shreveport (the Eldorado Shreveport Investments). The related statements of operations reflect the interest earned by Newport Global associated with the Eldorado Shreveport Investments from August 2006 and any direct expenses associated with the acquisition of the 17.0359% interest in Resorts.
Eldorado
Eldorado, through Resorts, owns and operates the Eldorado Hotel & Casino (the Eldorado-Reno), a premier hotel/casino and entertainment facility in Reno, Nevada. Through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Resorts indirectly owns and, pursuant to a management agreement, operates the Eldorado Casino Shreveport, an all-suite art deco-style hotel and a tri-level riverboat dockside casino complex situated on the Red River in Shreveport, Louisiana (the Eldorado-Shreveport). Resorts 96% owned subsidiary, Eldorado Limited Liability Company, a Nevada limited liability company (ELLC), owns a 50% interest in a general partnership (the Silver Legacy Joint Venture) which owns the Silver Legacy Resort Casino (the Silver Legacy), a major, themed hotel/casino located adjacent to Eldorado-Reno. In addition, Resorts owns a 21.25% interest in Tamarack, a small casino in south Reno.
Operational highlights for Eldorado for the three months ended September 30, 2011 included net operating revenues of approximately $67 million and operating expenses of approximately $59.7 million. Eldorados equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliates was approximately $0.2 million and interest expense was approximately $4.3 million for the period. In addition, Eldorado recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $10.9 million during the quarter related to its investment in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture. The impairment charge resulted from revised financial projections for Silver Legacy. The net result for the quarter was a net loss of approximately $7.5 million, compared with a net gain of approximately $0.9 million for the corresponding quarter of 2010. The nine month performance through September 30, 2011 represents an increase in year over year net loss of approximately $1.9 million due primarily to the aforementioned $10.9 million impairment charge, partially offset by a $4.9 million reduction to operating expenses when compared to the same period of 2010 and a $2.4 million gain on the early retirement of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Mesquite
Mesquite is engaged in the hotel casino industry in Mesquite, Nevada through its wholly owned subsidiaries C & HRV, LLC (doing business as Virgin River Hotel/Casino/Bingo) and VRCC, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries 5.47 RBI, LLC and RBG, LLC (doing business as CasaBlanca Resort/Golf/Spa) and its wholly owned subsidiary CasaBlanca Resorts, LLC (doing business as Oasis Resort and Casino) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Oasis Interval Ownership, LLC, Oasis Interval Management, LLC and Oasis Recreational Properties, Inc. Mesquites properties include the CasaBlanca Hotel & Casino and the Virgin River Hotel & Casino, two golf courses, a bowling center, a gun club, restaurants, and banquet and conference facilities.
Operational highlights for Mesquite for the two months ended September 30, 2011, which is the period of time during the quarter that the Company owned its interest in Mesquite, included net operating revenues of approximately $13.2 million and operating expenses of approximately $16.2 million. Interest expense for Mesquite during the quarter was $1 million and the net result for the two months ended September 30, 2011 was a net loss of $4 million. This net loss was largely due to Mesquites operations being seasonal in nature, with the second half of the year producing less positive operating results than the first half, and the ongoing economic slowdown being experienced in Nevada and the region.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010
The Companys net loss, which largely reflects the Companys share of the net losses of Eldorado and Mesquite, was approximately $2.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of approximately $0.2 million for the same period in 2010. Primarily as a result of the $10.9 million impairment charge recognized by Eldorado during the quarter, the Companys equity loss attributable to its investment in Eldorado was approximately $1.2 million, compared to net income attributable to its investment in Eldorado of $0.1 million for the same period in 2010. The Companys $1.6 million loss attributable to its investment in Mesquite for the period was primarily due to Mesquites operations being seasonal in nature, with the second half of the year producing less positive operating results than the first half, and the ongoing economic slowdown being experienced in Nevada and the region. The Company experienced no such loss during the same period a year ago since the 40% interest in Mesquite was not acquired until August 1, 2011. This increase in the Companys equity loss was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease to the Companys legal and licensing expenses during the quarter when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in legal and licensing expenses was due to fewer expenses being incurred in connection with the acquisition of a 40% interest in New Black Gaming (see Acquisition, below).

Table of Contents
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
The Companys net loss, which largely reflects the Companys share of the net losses of Eldorado and Mesquite, was approximately $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of approximately $0.8 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in net loss during the period was largely the result of the $1.6 million loss on Mesquite, which was primarily due to Mesquites operations being seasonal in nature, with the second half of the year producing less positive operating results than the first half, and the ongoing economic slowdown being experienced in Nevada and the region. The Company experienced no such loss during the same period a year ago since the 40% interest in Mesquite was not acquired until August 1, 2011. The Companys share of the net loss of Eldorado was approximately $0.6 million, compared to a net loss of $0.3 million for the same period in 2010. This increase in equity loss was due primarily to the $10.9 million impairment charge recognized by Eldorado during the period, partially offset by a $4.9 million reduction to operating expenses when compared to the same period of 2010 and a $2.4 million gain on the early retirement of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in net loss was partially offset by a $0.3 million reduction to the Companys legal and licensing expenses when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in legal and licensing expenses was due to fewer expenses being incurred in connection with the acquisition of a 40% interest in New Black Gaming (see Acquisition, below).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company incurred approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million of costs associated with its investments in unconsolidated investees during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Expenses incurred related to accounting and legal fees for the preparation of regulatory filings, along with travel and legal expenses related to the acquisition of a 40% interest in Mesquite Gaming (see Acquisition, below). For the remainder of 2011, the Company expects to incur additional costs of approximately $0.1 million. These costs will be financed by member contributions.
Acquisition
On August 1, 2011, the acquisition by NGA Holdco, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the Company), through its wholly owned subsidiary, NGA AcquisitionCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, (AcquisitionCo), of a 40% equity interest (the 40% Interest) in Mesquite Gaming, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (Mesquite Gaming), was completed upon the transfer to Mesquite Gaming of all of the assets of Black Gaming, LLC (Black Gaming), including its direct and indirect ownership interests in its subsidiaries, for $8,222,222 in cash. The assets acquired by Mesquite Gaming include the CasaBlanca Hotel & Casino and the Virgin River Hotel & Casino, each in Mesquite, Nevada, two golf courses, a bowling center, a gun club, restaurants, and banquet and conference facilities. The transfer of the Black Gaming assets to Mesquite Gaming and the acquisition by AcquisitionCo of the 40% Interest were pursuant to a joint plan of reorganization (the Plan) filed by Black Gaming and its subsidiaries with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (the Court) on March 1, 2010, and approved by the Court on June 28, 2010.
The Purchase price paid for the 40% Interest was provided by Newport Global Opportunities Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership (Newport), and Newport Global Credit Fund (Master) LP, a Delaware limited partnership (Master), in the respective amounts of $7,222,222 and $1,000,000. Prior to the acquisition by AcquisitionCo of the 40% Interest, Newport owned all of the equity interests in NGA No VoteCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (InvestCo). In consideration for Masters contribution of its portion of the funds used to purchase the 40% Interest, Master became a second member of InvestCo, which owns all of the Companys outstanding Class B Units, representing all of its non-voting equity. As a result of the acquisition of the 40% Interest, the Companys financial statements will, from August 1, 2011 (the date of consummation of the acquisition), reflect the Companys allocable share of the net income (loss) of Mesquite Gaming, which was formed for the purpose of acquiring the assets of Black Gaming pursuant to the Plan.
